EPM5153 ASSESSMENT IN EDUCATION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The item analysis is an important phase in the development of an exam program. In this phase
statistical methods are used to identify any test items that are not working well. If an item is too
easy, too difficult, failing to show a difference between skilled and unskilled examinees, or even
scored incorrectly, an item analysis will reveal it. The two most common statistics reported in an
item analysis are the item difficulty, which is a measure of the proportion of examinees who
responded to an item correctly, and the item discrimination, which is a measure of how well the
item discriminates between examinees who are knowledgeable in the content area and those who
are not. An additional analysis that is often reported is the distractor analysis. The distractor
analysis provides a measure of how well each of the incorrect options contributes to the quality
of a multiple choice item. Once the item analysis information is available, an item review is oftenconducted.
Item analysis is a method that is used in education to evaluate test item. This can ensure that
questions are in appropriate standard and measure the effectiveness of individual test item. Item
analysis is purposed to improve test items and identify unfair or biased item. Item analysis is
conducted to avoid the chance of tests that are too difficult (and have an insufficient floor) tend
to lead to frustration and lead to deflated scores, and tests that are too easy (and have an
insufficient ceiling) facilitate a decline in motivation and lead to inflated scores.
Item analysis can be analyzed by computing: Difficulty Index, Discrimination Index, Validity
Coefficient, and Effectiveness of Distraction.
1.1 Difficulty Index
According to Wilson (2005), item difficulty is the most essential component of item analysis.
Item difficulty is determined by the number of people who answer a particular test item
correctly. It is important for a test to contain items of various difficulty levels in order to
distinguish between students who are not prepared at all, students who are fairly prepared, and
students who are well prepared.

To compute level of difficulty we use the formula:
Difficulty Index (p) = C/T
p = Difficulty Index
C = the number of students who answer item X correctly
T = the number of total students who answer item X
For example:
There are 12 students who answer an item X, 4 of whom can answer the item correctly. So that,
the level of difficulty is:
Level of difficulty (p) = 4 / 12
= 0.33
The highest score forp is 1.0 and the lowest score is 0
p always has positive value
The higher score forp the easier item
The lower score forp the harder item
According to Allen & Yen (1986) to avoid a test is too difficult or too easy, each items in a test
should have a difficulty range from 0.3 to 0.7. It is used to differentiate between individuals
level of knowledge, ability, and preparedness.
1.2 Discrimination Index

EPM5153 ASSESSMENT IN EDUCATION
Discrimination goes beyond determining the proportion of people who answer correctly and
looks more specifically at who answers correctly. In other words, item discrimination determines
whether those who did well on the entire test did well on a particular item. An item should in fact
be able to discriminate between upper and lower scoring groups.
To compute discrimination index, the first thing we have to do is dividing test-takers into three
groups, upper group, average group and lower group. Then using this formula:
Discrimination index (D) = CU CL
(1/2)TUL
D = Discrimination index
Cu = Number of Upper 25% students who answered the item correctly
CL = Number of Lower 25% students who answered the item correctly
1.3 The Effectiveness of Distraction
Multiple choice tests have one question and several options of answer. Among the options, there
is only one answer which is correct, and the other options are wrong answers. Those wrong
answers in multiple choice tests are called distraction. A distraction is called effective when there
are a lot of students choosing it. According to Fernandez (1984) a distraction can be called as a
good distraction when there are 2% of test takers choosing it.
1.4 Summary
In the item analysis phase oftest development, statistical methods are used to identify potential
item problems. The statistical results should be used along with substantive attention to the item
content to determine if a problem exists and what should be done to correct it. Items that are
functioning very poorly should usually be removed from consideration and the exams rescored

before the test results are released. In other cases, items may still be usable, after modest changes
are made to improve their performance on future exams.

3.2 Subjective answer
Rahman has an unusual hobby. It is collecting butterflies. He catches the butterflies in his
own garden which is full of beautiful flowers. In order to catch the butterflies, Rahman uses a
butterfly net. He uses a long stick with a net attached to one end.
First, Rahman catches a butterfly with his net. He must handle the butterfly gently so that he
does not tear out its wings. Then, he pours a small drop of methylated spirit onto the butterflys
head. This is to preserve the insect. When the butterfly is dry, he pins it onto a board.
Rahman arranges the butterflies according to types, colours and sizes. He enjoys collecting
butterflies because it is fun and is also a cheap hobby.

APPENDIX 1
Holistic Rubric
Grade Score Criteria
A (90-100) The A argument essay is exceptional in every way. The essay is well organized
and all claims are supported. It begins with a solid introduction that contains a clear
thesis, is followed by body paragraphs that contain clear topic sentences with clear
and detailed support, and ends with an effective conclusion. Content is thorough and
lacking in no area. There are no (or few) errors in tone, format, mechanics, grammar,
and content.
B (80-89) The B essay is above adequate in most areas. In the areas where it is not above
adequate, it is still entirely acceptable. The majority of the essay is clear, focused,
and well detailed, but there may be a few areas requiring further development.
While it may contain a few errors with tone, mechanics, grammar, and/or content,
these errors are not egregious enough to detract from the overall point being made.
C (70-79) The C essay is adequate in most areas, but exceptional in none. The thesis is clear
although probably lacking in both control and command. Organization may be a
slight problem but can be fixed. The paragraphs provide support but are generally
underdeveloped. There may be multiple errors in tone, format, mechanics, grammar,
and content, but these errors do not, for the most part, detract from the overall
writing.
D (60-69) The D essay is lacking in a majority of areas. It is generally unorganized and
unfocused. The thesis is neither clear nor controls the entire essay. Most of the
essay is underdeveloped. There are frequent errors in tone, format, mechanics,
grammar, and/or content that distract from the content being provided. Its only
saving grace is that, despite all of the errors, there appears to be a legitimate effort put
forth by the writer.
F (0-59) The F essay generally needs little explanation. There are significant problems
throughout. The thesis is often lacking, and the argument, if there is one, wanders
and is unorganized. The essay shows no understanding of basic essay structure, and
there are significant errors in tone, format, mechanics, grammar, and/or content. The
effort on the part of the writer is questionable, at best.
